The president’s job-approval rating has never been lower, according to the number crunchers at Gallup. Obama currently clocks in with 39 percent approval, lower by Gallup’s reckoning than every president since Harry Truman at this time in their respective terms — except for Jimmy Carter. That’s not much to brag about.

Gallup bases its numbers on a three-day rolling average. This batch is dated Aug. 11-12.
